    Magic: the gathering.

    There’s several different styles of play known as “formats”.

    The Cheapest being “Standard”. Which is the latest 3-5 sets released. The deck of 75 card deck can cost upwards of £500.

    Then the most popular format, modern, which is the last 20ish years of release. The average deck there can be upwards of £1,500.

    Then there’s legacy and vintage where decks are in the high 4 figures and some even in the 5 figures.
